Author Sean Harris of Dead Of Winter.

Sean Harris grew up in a small town in Kansas, entertaining her friends and family by writing short stories, plays and radio dramas. In the end radio won over writing and Sean spent the ten years after high school working as a commercial radio disc jockey in Wichita, Kansas. Along the way, she found time to pick up a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Communication. Because she likes a good challenge, Sean also taught public speaking to college freshmen, most of whom would have rather been getting root canals sans Novocain than learning how to outline and deliver a speech. In 2004, Sean and her family moved to Fairbanks, Alaska. Since winters there last nearly nine months and are very, very cold, Sean decided she needed to find a good indoor activity and returned to writing in the frozen north she soon grew to love. However, Sean soon picked up her snowshoes and moved again, this time to the sunny warmth of Houston, Texas, where she currently lives with her husband, two sons, and four dogs.
